1990: Starting From Baojia Street

Chapter 352 There Must Be Elements of Taipei

Zhou Yan signed very quickly because he wanted to finish signing everything in Zheng Youqing's hands before others arrived. He was worried that others would see Zhou Yan signing so many things for Zheng Youqing and hand over a lot of them.

But others followed quickly. As soon as he signed two cards, people gathered around him.

After the music fans gathered around him, they were quite restrained. They kept a distance from Zhou Yan and did not get close to him.

Interestingly, some reporters at the scene couldn't squeeze in. Zhou Yan noticed that many young music fans seemed to be organized and kept reporters away.

"Zhou Yan, welcome to Beishi."

"Welcome to Beishi again."

"Come on tomorrow."

"We will all support you."

One thing here in Taiwan is better than in Xiangjiang, that is, Zhou Yan can basically understand everyone here.

Although there are many differences in language habits between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, it does not sound difficult, and Zhou Yan has been with Wang Zuxian for such a long time, and he also understands their terms.

"Thank you everyone." Zhou Yan signed autographs for the fans and chatted with them with a smile. "How long have you been waiting here?"

"We'll come right after lunch."

"I just arrived."

"Fortunately I came early, otherwise I wouldn't have blocked you."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "If you want to come tomorrow, you can come later, because we will come back later, and we probably won't have time to chat with you."

"Will there be an extra performance outside tomorrow night?" someone asked.

Zhou Yan nodded, "There should be, but only if the weather is good. If it rains heavily, I'm afraid it will be cancelled."

"No, it will be sunny tomorrow."

"Yes, we checked the weather forecast in advance."

"Zhou Yan, God won't be so disrespectful to you when you come to Beishi."

"I've been waiting for your concert lately, and I wish you could start performing tonight."

"Zhou Yan, how long will you stay in Beishi this time? Do you have any other plans?"

Zhou Yan shook his head regretfully, "I will go back after the concert. I also want to spend a few more days here, but unfortunately time is too tight. I will definitely come again next time I have the opportunity."

At this moment, the reporters who had been blocked out finally squeezed in, and a reporter put the microphone directly to Zhou Yan's mouth.

Before the reporter could ask a question, two young men next to him took the reporter's arm and said, "Don't push too far forward. Pay attention to your safety. Can you paparazzi be more polite?"

The reporter looked aggrieved and flashed his work ID, "I am not a paparazzi, I am Xu Fanyou, a reporter from China Television."

After speaking, Xu Fanyou hurriedly told Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, it was Director Lin who asked me to come."

Director Lin... Zhou Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "It must be Lin Youwei."

Xu Fanyou nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, that's right."

Lin Youwei is the director of "Walk and Talk". He had a lot of contact with Zhou Yan because of the previous recording of the program, and Zhou Yan also had a good impression of him.

Moreover, Lin Youwei is a person who is always willing to give advice and dare to take risks. He accepted all the suggestions given by Zhou Yan at that time. Because of this, the program "Walking and Talking" can become better and better.

In the past two years, Lin Youwei has occasionally called Zhou Yan to exchange program production experiences with him, hoping to get some good ideas from Zhou Yan.

If Zhou Yan was not busy, he would also chat more with Lin Youwei. Later, some of the procedures on the "Walk and Talk" program were also related to Zhou Yan.

Since they were acquaintances, Zhou Yan smiled and said to the two young people, "Everyone, give in a little and leave some space for this journalist friend. Don't worry, I won't delay signing your autographs when I answer the questions."

After hearing what Zhou Yan said, the two young men let go of Xu Fanyou's arms.

Xu Fanyou breathed a sigh of relief, cast a grateful look at Zhou Yan, and then raised the microphone and asked, "Director Zhou, do you have any special feelings about coming to Taiwan again?"

A very common question.

Zhou Yan didn't stop signing autographs for the music fans, and replied with a smile, "I just arrived yesterday, and I actually spent a lot of time walking out. But I have always had a good impression of Beishi. Everyone is very warm and polite. If I have the chance, I will definitely come more often.”

"There are reports that your new movie is in preparation. Can we talk about it?"

"We haven't reached the preparatory stage yet, and the script hasn't been written yet, but if nothing else happens, the script should be completed in Beishi."

Hearing Zhou Yan's answer, Xu Fanyou's eyes lit up, "During the script creation process, did Beishi give you inspiration? Will there be elements from Beishi in the new movie?"

Zhou Yan did not do Tai Chi this time, and replied very simply, "There will definitely be elements of Beishi in the new movie, there is no doubt about it."

Xu Fanyou has studied a lot of Zhou Yan's information, including some interviews. He knows that Zhou Yan rarely says such definite words. Since Zhou Yan said it, it must not be just a casual talk.

"We all know that you have a good relationship with director Hou Xiaoxian. Will you collaborate on this new movie? Did you meet with him when you came to Taiwan this time?"

Speaking of which, Hou Xiaoxian can be regarded as half of Zhou Yan's boss. Zhou Yan was able to start his career as a director, and Hou Xiaoxian was indispensable.

The outside world also knows that they have a good relationship. After all, they have collaborated many times, including the earliest "Raise the Red Lantern", later "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", and Hou Xiaoxian's own "Dream Life".

In these three films, Zhou Yan played different roles, actor, director, and music director.

"I contacted Director Hou in advance, but unfortunately, he was not in Taiwan, so we didn't have the chance to meet this time. As for the new film, there is no plan to work with Director Hou for the time being. Of course, I also hope to have the opportunity to work with Director Hou again, but it is not something that can be done in a snap, and Director Hou also has a lot of things to do."

Hou Xiaoxian was busy filming "Goodbye Southland, Southland" last year, and this year he started to be busy with publicity and promotion.

The film participated in this year's Cannes International Film Festival and was nominated, but it didn't win any prizes in the end.

Although the film didn't win any awards, it must be sold. It has been sold in Europe, and now it has to go to North America to sell. The film will be released in North America in September and October.

In fact, when Hou Xiaoxian was filming "Goodbye Southland, Southland", he asked Zhou Yan to help him with the music, but Zhou Yan was busy at the time, and Hou Xiaoxian was anxious. He was anxious to send the film to the Cannes Film Festival for awards, so the cooperation did not work out.

Of course, the main reason is that Zhou Yan didn't like the movie "Goodbye Southland, Southland". It's not that the movie is not good, but compared with other movies of Hou Xiaoxian, this movie is a little mediocre.

Moreover, this movie tells the survival status of the underworld in Taiwan Island, and Zhou Yan doesn't want to get involved.

"Will the movie use actors from Taiwan Island? Everyone knows that the heroine of your representative work "The Sixth Sense" is our Taipei actress Wang Zuxian."

Hearing Xu Fanyou say this, Zhou Yan found it very interesting.

When in Hong Kong, reporters classified Wang Zuxian as a Hong Kong actor, and in Taiwan Island, reporters classified her as a Taiwanese actor.

Zhou Yan did not give a positive answer this time, but just nodded and said, "It is possible. Joey Wong is a very good actress, and we had a pleasant cooperation before."

"Will the movie be filmed here?"

"It is also possible. There are many places in Taipei that interest me."

Zhou Yan was just polite, but Xu Fanyou asked, "For example, what places in Taipei impressed you?"

"Uh... Daan Forest Park is pretty good." Zhou Yan could only think of Daan Forest Park.

"Did you go to Daan Forest Park this time? The last time you came, it should not be open yet." Xu Fanyou's mind turned quickly and he found the key point at once.

"I went there when I had nothing to do in the morning."

"Did you see the open-air music stand in Daan Forest Park?"

"Yes, I saw it."

Xu Fanyou smiled and said, "Actually, it is quite suitable for outdoor concerts."

His words were responded by other music fans.

"Yes, the open-air music platform in Daan Forest Park is nice."

"You can hold a concert there if you have the chance."

"Although the effect is not as good as the concert hall, it can accommodate more people."

...

Zhou Yan smiled, "There will be a performance there tonight. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

After saying this, Zhou Yan looked at his watch. It was getting late. He put his hands together and apologized, "Sorry, everyone, it's getting late. I have to go in and rehearse with the orchestra. Let's meet again when we have the chance."

The fans were also quite reasonable. When they heard that Zhou Yan was going in to rehearse, they immediately made way for Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan waved as he walked. When he arrived at the door of the concert hall, he turned around and waved.

The security guards of the concert hall were standing at the door, looking at him with a smile. Looking at these security guards, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh that the security guards of this concert hall were too Buddhist. Just now, he was surrounded by people, and no security guard came over.

What Zhou Yan didn't know was that the security guards' thoughts at this time were similar to his.

They were all thinking that Zhou Yan, this big star, was too careless. Such a big star, he went out without any accompanying security personnel, and came alone.

...,

After Zhou Yan left, the fans did not disperse, and they were all talking about their previous contact with Zhou Yan with relish.

Basically, they all praised Zhou Yan for being more beautiful in person than on TV, and very easy-going, without any airs.

Some of them are actually organized, called Zhou Yan Taipei Fan Club.

The two young men who stopped the reporter just now are the backbone members of the fan club.

Their fan club was established not long ago, and they have not yet contacted Tang Chen Company, and they cannot get support from Tang Chen Company like Zhou Yanyan Normal University Fan Club.

Although the fan club was established not long ago, it is not small in scale, and the number of official members is about to exceed 100.

When Zhou Yan was not here just now, those members of the fan club were developing members. Now that Zhou Yan left, they continued their previous work and began to introduce their fan club to the people on the scene.

After Zheng Youqing watched Zhou Yan leave, she turned around and was about to leave when she was stopped by a handsome young man.

"My classmate, please stay."

Zheng Youqing turned around and subconsciously hugged the photos and albums in her hands.

Seeing her vigilant look, the boy smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't steal your things. I am the vice president of Zhou Yan's Taipei City Fan Club, my name is Zhao Weilun. You are also a fan of Zhou Yan, so I want to ask, do you want to join our fan club?"

Zheng Youqing pursed her lips and asked, "What benefits are there for joining your fan club?"

"Of course there is. After joining the fan club, you will be able to get first-hand information about Zhou Yan. When he holds concerts, makes movies, and releases new albums, we will all know immediately."

"Do you have any contact with Zhou Yan's team?"

"Well, not yet."

"Then when you get the news, don't you just watch the news like me?"

"But there are many of us. As long as one person sees the news, others will know it immediately. You can't watch the news every day, and you can't read all the news. When everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise. At least everyone can do something Let’s exchange information. And we sometimes hold some activities to communicate together, and we also give out benefits from time to time, such as signed albums... We signed a lot this time, and we will distribute them to other members when we go back.”

"But...I also have a lot."

"You can't guarantee that you will have time to participate in activities every time."

"Then will you ask me to share it with you?"

Zhao Weilun laughed and said, "Don't worry, we won't force members to share."

Zheng Youqing was a little moved by what he said, "Then I'll think about it."

"No problem." Zhao Weilun smiled, "We just discussed that we should go to Da'an Forest Park to watch the show tonight. If you have time, you can also participate."

"Do you know what the show is?"

Zhao Weilun shrugged, "I don't know, but Zhou Yan mentioned it, and we all want to see it."

"okay."

Zheng Youqing nodded, without saying whether to go or not, and turned around and left.

Zhao Weilun originally wanted to call out Zheng Youqing, but finally gave up. He grabbed some air and turned around to develop other people.

"Lihong, don't be too disappointed if there aren't enough viewers tonight. We have just started after all. This is normal."

When the car was approaching Da'an Forest Park, Li Shoquan suddenly said to Wang Lihong that he wanted to do some psychological construction for Wang Leehom.

Li Shouchuan is a gold medal music producer in Taiwan and has a high status in the Taiwanese music circle. He has produced many well-known albums, such as Li Jianfu's "Descendants of the Dragon", Zhang Xueyou's Mandarin album "Love Never Returns" and Wang Jie "A Game, a Dream".

At the same time, he has also made great achievements in film scoring. At the age of less than 30, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Film Music and Best Film Interlude for "The Wrong Ride". Last year, he won the Golden Horse Award for "Super Fighting". Golden Horse Award for Best Film Score.

Last year Wang Lihong went back to Taiwan to visit relatives. After his cousin watched his video tape, he recommended him to Li Shoquan. Li Shoquan also admired Wang Lihong very much and helped him produce the album "Love Rival Beethoven". Later, Wang Lihong also Joined Fumao Records.

Foremost Records paid great attention to this good-looking newcomer and quickly helped him produce his second album "If You Hear My Song". This period was the album's promotion period.

Logically speaking, Li Shoequan would not come to an occasion like today, but he was really worried and decided to come and take a look.

After all, Wang Lihong is too young. He just celebrated his 20th birthday in May.

Although he has performed on big stages abroad before, he has no experience in this kind of one-man show.

Wang Lihong also nodded, "I know, but actually I don't have high expectations."

Hearing what Wang Lihong said, Li Shoquan was also very satisfied. He encouraged again, "Don't worry too much, you will definitely succeed."

Li Shoquan has been in the recording industry for such a long time and is confident in his vision. Wang Lihong has good conditions in all aspects, so there is no reason why he can't get ahead.

As long as he works steadily and step by step, Wang Lihong will definitely be able to find his own path.

Wang Lihong has already prepared himself mentally. He has convinced himself that even if the audience is sparse tonight, he will take this performance seriously.

In fact, he was very arrogant at the beginning, thinking that he would definitely become a blockbuster, but after the release of the first album, the response was mediocre, like a basin of water poured on his head, which made him sober up a lot.

The two people who had prepared themselves mentally were stunned when they walked to the outdoor music stage.

There are already many people sitting in the seats in front of the music hall. By rough estimation, the occupancy rate can be 50%.

But it's only 5:40 now, and it's still close to an hour before the show officially starts.

Wang Lihong asked in disbelief, "Are these people all here to see my performance?"

After all, Li Shouguan had seen the world, so he was much calmer. He smiled and said, "Whether they came to watch your performance or not, they are already sitting in the audience, so they are all your audience tonight."

Wang Lihong shook his fist with excitement. Teacher Li was right, these will be his audience today.

The staff on the stage were still debugging the equipment. After Wang Lihong came on stage, he wanted to wave and interact with the audience, but he felt a little embarrassed, so he could only pretend to be cool and debug the equipment with the staff. .

But his attention was always on the audience, wanting to see if more viewers came, and also wanted to see if any viewers left.

Zhao Weilun, who was in the audience, saw Wang Lihong coming on stage and started chatting with his companions.

"The young man is quite handsome."

"He's quite handsome, but he's still a little worse than Zhou Yan."

"The style is different. This one is more tender, like a college student."

"Zhou Yan also looked like a college student in his early days."

"Didn't Zhou Yan look like a college student in his early days? He is a college student. How many years has he graduated?"

"But Zhou Yan's eyes were very deep very early on."

"That's true, Zhou Yan's eyes are indeed charming."

"Do you think this young man knows Zhou Yan?"

"Maybe we know each other, otherwise why did Zhou Yan mention tonight's concert?"

"Maybe I saw the performance information, so I'll mention it later."

"No matter, let's wait patiently for the show."

"How many of us are still here? There aren't many seats left."

"There are still quite a few people. Do you want to save seats for them?"

"Forget it, they are late, let them stand and watch."

"Okay, this is the price of being late."

Time passed little by little, it was getting closer and closer to half past six, and there were more and more spectators under the outdoor band stage.

At early six o'clock, the seats below were almost full, and people who came later could only stand on the lawn next to it.

Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian arrived at 6:20. When they arrived at the scene, many people were already standing on the lawn.

Wang Zuxian was surprised and said, "Is this new singer actually so famous? His performance has attracted so many audiences."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "This park has a lot of people, so there must be a lot of people joining in the fun. Otherwise, why do you think they would perform here?"

"Oh, that's true."

Da'an Forest Park does have a large flow of people. Although it is meal time now, the crowd is not small.

If citizens who come to the park for a walk see a performance on the band stage, they will most likely come to join in the fun.

After all, there are no tickets for the performance. Not many people will refuse a free concert. As long as the performance is not particularly ugly, most people will support it.

Since you can't win money, you have to support yourself personally.

There were no seats, so Wang Zuxian didn't care much, but seeing so many people, she was a little worried. The two of them would be easily recognized here.

The two of them did not lean forward, but found a tree behind them, and one of them leaned to the side, waiting for the performance to start.

Before half past six, Wang Lihong had already walked to the center of the stage with his electric guitar in his arms.

After standing still, he didn't say anything and started with a passionate solo.

This cool move also made the audience applaud.

After finishing his cool performance, Wang Lihong waved excitedly to the audience, "Good evening everyone, I am Wang Lihong, welcome to my performance."

The audience in the audience was also very considerate, and the applause this time was even louder.

"The young man is quite handsome." Wang Zuxian praised.

Zhou Yan nodded, "Yeah, he's quite handsome."

"Of course, he's definitely not as handsome as you."

Zhou Yan said seriously, "Yeah, but it's not much different."

Hearing this, Wang Zuxian laughed out loud, "Smelly." (End of Chapter)
